This No Quit match - is going to be legit

 

[Spitfire]

That match was amazing - that was not a comedy sloppy fest

 

[Spitfire]

Cobb finally beat Okada! That match was another epic - like holy shits! Night One of WGS is blowing my mind

The emotion from Ibushi before the bell even rang

Tanahashi vs. Ibushi was a good match, I wouldn't rate it higher than the 3K Grudge or Cobb/Okada - but honestly. How was that N1? Night 2 - is on paper meant to be a lot better, but that was a phenomenal night 1

I'm about 2 hours into N1 from New Japan's Grand Slam and I'm digging it so far. SHO vs YOH I thought came off very strong for both guys clearly SHO has a bigger future for him till YOH finds himself as a Singles talent. It was expected for SHO to join BC who else was he going to join.

Whoever told Yano/Owens go that long and it was probably Gedo should be dropkicked. The Match went on too long and even though both guys tried to grab me it had no sizzle to it. Yano better stay at his old self as it seems Owens is not done with Yano just yet oh goodie. Right now Okada and Cobb are heating up in the Ring.

Another good Stardom pre-show match, better than yesterday's too

 

[Chris]

New Champs not a surorise since ELP and Ishimori are going to the States I guess. A bit boring though, I would have liked to see them defended here

 

[Chris]

The Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match was insanely good. I bet some people call it too long like they did the last Tekkers/LIJ match but I think it was all worth it still, good shit.

 

[Chris]

Holy shit, I'm not that surprised Eagles retained but I did NOT expect Hiromu to be tapping out. That was a great fucking match too, both look like stars after

 

[Chris]

EVIL coming out with 3 dudes, this ain't even gonna have any time as a real match before shenanigans

 

[Chris]

Aight main event did have a lot of fuckery but I didn't really mind most of it. Was pretty long too but overall I'd say no harm with it. I popped with LIJ actually came to help too lmao

Time for Night 2 from Wrestle Slam you God damn right they better put respect on the name of Momo Watanabe. When she was White Belt Champion she was on such a run in Stardom while breaking the record for the most title defenses. I had her higher above the Red Belt Champion at the time that went through Champions like Kagetsu and Mayu and Toni Storm before dropping it to Arisa Hoshiki. Alot of people forget Momo being that great because Arisa did the same thing right after her and killed it as well and had to retire due to injuries. I need that Momo who was bleeding from her Mouth vs Io Shirai trying to get her first Singles Title win back. She's getting their slowly though.

Crazy to think Cobb and Khan are now 22-2 and have the best record of any tag team - I'm glad they are both being pushed towards the G1 though.

Cutest Tag Team - lost. This is not a great weekend for some of my favourite champions. Gutted
